"So how was visiting Wanda and Timothy?" Gaby asks you casually, handing you a glass of wine. You take a sip

"Well apart from the fact that Ben got absolutely smashed, it was good" you reply, laughing slightly. Gaby smiles fondly and takes a sip of her wine.

"How did they react to you two being a couple?" She asks casually, placing her glass down in front of her and leaning on her arms.

"They were thrilled, I mean- they've been waiting for this for years so I think that they were just relieved"you reply, laughing slightly. Gaby nods in agreement and grins.

"They're not the only ones" she replies happily. You take another sip of your wine
...
"Benedict kissed my head and Wanda cried for about 20 minutes."
Gaby suddenly spits out her wine, laughing.

"Gab! You tramp!" You joke, getting up off your stool to get a towel to dry the wine mixed with saliva.

"You can't spring something like that on me when I'm drinking. That' ones on you" Gaby Jokes, wiping her mouth. You laugh and shake your head as you wipe the table and go and sit down.

"She did ask about our sex life though, oh gosh it was so embarrassing" you moan, burying your face in your hands. Gaby laughs

"Oh god, what did she ask?" She asks eagerly. You shake your head, smiling.

"She was just asking if it felt awkward when we were intimate. I was just thinking 'that's your son' but I obviously didn't say that'' you reply. Gaby nods

"Well yeah, you can't really reply 'yeah your son is such a headboard rocker'" Gaby jokes, making you laugh.

"You always know how to lower the tone, don't you?" You joke. Gaby shrugs and smiles as you drink the rest of your wine

"So how are things in that department, since we're on the topic" Gaby asks casually. You widen your eyes and raise your eyebrow

"What?" She asks, smirking

"Isn't that a little personal?" you ask, laughing awkwardly. Gaby shrugs

"This is what best friends do isn't it? Talk about each other's sex lives?" She replies casually. You think for a minute.

"You never tell me about your sex life with Tom?"

"Well you never ask" Gaby replies. You roll your eyes playfully

"Come on, just tell me. I'm nosey- I want to know if Benedict is actually good in the sack or if there's something I can bully him about" Gaby jokes. You smile to yourself

"Okay- fine. If you must know, things are good in that department" you mumble. Gaby raises her eyebrow and smirks.

"Just good?" She asks.

"Very good" you reply casually. Gaby smirks

"How often do you guys, you know?" She asks, resting her chin on her hand
You feel your cheeks flush

"More than three times a week?" She asks. You look at her and nod , rubbing the back of your neck. She widens her eyes and smiles
